Deepest sympathy to Valery and the Cassidy family on the death of James. May he rest in Peace.

My deepest sympathy to all James’s family and friends. James was simply the best of men. My best drinking buddy. So many of my best times were spent with him. So many great memories. It is no surprise to see the tributes above evidencing how much he was loved and respected but I suspect we all know he was also deeply private and kept the different parts or his life separate. I expect this page is about to be overrun with condolences from his many many friends in Mensa. He was loved by everyone.

So sad to read this. James was an active member in London Mensa and it was a delight to know him. RIP James.

My sincere sympathies to James' family. Always enjoyed his company when socialising in London's pubs with the M crew. RIP James

Very sad news. I will miss James's cheerfulness and optimism, always evident on the many occasions I have met him at Mensa events in London and around the country.

I had the privilege to talk to James a few times, he was a regular guest to the same international events for our association as I was. Always keen on discussing the world, politics and food, he was a regular visitor at the late evening gatherings after a conference day. I'm sad he passed away at such a young age and send my condolences from Finland to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Thinking of the whole family at this sad lose of such a kind and friendly man. He will be much missed by those in London who knew him

Truely sad news. I met James through the London Mensa meetings. He really brightened up the room and always spread such good vibes. A very likable and friendly guy that will be very missed. The Mensa gatherings won’t be the same without him. RIP.

So sad to hear this. James had an ability to suddenly appear at events when least expected! A quiet and gentle man and a stalwart of many a pub crawl. Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear this very sad news. James was a lovely, friendly and inclusive person. Always a pleasure to meet at Mensa events - when he was there you were always sure to have an enjoyable and entertaining chat. He will be greatly missed. I’m sure his family are heartbroken and I send my sincerest condolences.

So sorry to hear this very sad news. James was a lovely, friendly, kind, generous and inclusive person. Whenever you saw him at a Mensa event you were assured of an entertaining and enjoyable chat. He will be greatly missed. His family must be heartbroken and I send my sincerest condolences.

James was a wonderful chap & always brilliant company. His affable nature & laconic humour will be much missed by me & many others. RIP you were a lovely chap

We are saddened to hear of James's passing. Like many others we met James through Mensa. He was full of fun, so easy to talk to. He will be badly missed.

James was a great, fun person to be with and life always seemed better with him around. I'm struggling with the thought that we won't ever see him again. RIP.

James was one of the sweetest guy I know, incredibly nice and welcoming, and always very cheeful. One of the nicest person I met in London, he will no doubt be missed dearly by many. RIP James

Our most sincere condolences to James’ family. James was a friend from Mensa and a wonderful man who will be sorely missed.

I send my condolences to James’ family from Hungary. I only met him a few times a year, but those occasions were always memorable. I loved listening to his stories, which often made me cry with laughter. This is how I will remember him. May he rest in peace. 

I am so very sorry to hear this. The world has lost one of its kindest men. His loss will be deeply felt by all those who knew him.

James was a very nice and really genuine person. His passing away was a real shock, especially as he was not at all old. I shall truly miss him, and he imparted a feel-good factor to all around him. Condolences to all of his family. Like many others, I knew James from Mensa.

Sincere condolences to James' family. He was an amazing friend.

I was lucky enough to know James for the last 10 years or so. I so wish he could have been a friend from my earliest years. He was a superstar of convivial company, full of energy and stories, and game for anything. And he did it all in spite of everything he was going through. What a star. And I'm sure that his soul is already one of those very very bright stars twinkling in the sky above my house here in Suffolk. Rest in Peace James, you truly deserve to. Except that we'll be expecting you there in spirit on every pub crawl from here to eternity. And I know you'll be there.

I cannot imagine a single Mensa event without his cheerful face and our shared passion for being the last ones to leave. I am devastated and can only imagine the pain his family and closest friends must be in. He will be sorely missed! He was one of those very few people everybody liked. RIP.
